vento-rob 0 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Ello folks.I have a few issues with the car which i need some help with as the vr6 engine is fairly new to me.The car coughs and splutters intermittantly, i read that a change of plugs and leads can some time cure this, but not in my case.This morning the car was bad so got to work and changed the plugs and leads. it seems better but the problem is now more intermittant.the only way i can describe it as it like the car is holding back and fighting (not all the time though) then whooooshh of she goes.Any ideas? when i got the car was told it has a faulty maf sensor, could this be the underlying issue?Cheers Folks answers in the usual fashion lolRob Link to post Share on other sites
ip 0 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Yes, a faulty MAF will do this. Worth getting a VAG-COM reading done (someone in the club should be able o help), it could also be the temp sensor but a reading will show this up.ip Link to post Share on other sites
